I get lost in this TV talk because I hardly watch TV. How do you guys find

the time? I have a book review due for Roger Kimball tomorrow, and I

haven’t even read the friggin book yet. I did, though, accidentally catch

part of an episode of that reality TV show about the bachelor who’s posing

as a millionaire in a French chateau. Oy oy oy. Things are bad. Modest

proposal: If the Romans had had this technology, they’d have kitted out the

girls in leather bikinis, given them swords, nets, and tridents, and let ‘em

fight it out. Now that would be worth watching.
